'''4L 5s''' refers to the structure of [[MOS scales]] whose generator falls between 2\9 (two degrees of [[9edo|9edo]] = approx. 266.667¢) and 1\4 (one degree of [[4edo|4edo]] = 300¢). In the case of 9edo, L and s are the same size; in the case of 4edo, s is so small it disappears. The spectrum, then, goes something like: | '''4L 5s''' or '''orwelloid''' (named after the abstract temperament [[orwell]]) refers to the structure of [[MOS scales]] whose generator falls between 2\9 (two degrees of [[9edo|9edo]] = approx. 266.667¢) and 1\4 (one degree of [[4edo|4edo]] = 300¢).
